PhotoLab-Exiftools is a subset of tools for digital pictures using EXIF datas. t's a separated part of Photolab because one need to install external command line software (JHead and Jpegtran). All scripts are in Python, tested with Gimp-2.6.4 under Linux and Gimp-2.4 under Windows XP. Supported language: en,fr.

  • Autorotate : A batch work to rotate automatically your photos.
  • RenameByDate : A batch work to rename your photos by adding as prefix the shouting date.
  • ChangeDate : A batch work to correct the shouting date of your photos.
  • Synchronize_2Cameras : A batch work applying at two sets of photos each taken from an other camera. The photos have been taken at the same time and your wish is to merge them in one single album.
  • AutoSynchronize_2Cameras : works like Synchronize_2Cameras excepted it's not necessary to set manually the date offset between the internal date of the two cameras. Instead you must take two reference photos at the same time with the two cameras.

Photolab 4.0

New version and more python scripts for Photolabo.

* Modification of Levelbatch and Curvebatch, now they work with the level and curve GIMP files of Gimp-2.6. Don't work anymore for older versions of Gimp.

* Added colorblind tool subset of Photolabo for colorblind people. This is my first try and it need probably improvement or new ideas. Feedback from colorblind peoples would be appreciated. This is not a view filter like those who try to simulate colorblindness. This is just a menu entry that add and remove (you'd better associate the menu entry with a keyboard shortcut) a special view of the photo useful for a colorblind. There is 3 scripts : Channel switcher, Colored layer and Hue vision.

* Added Strip exif script in Exif tools subset.

* Added JPEG quality script. A batch work to increase the compression ratio.

* Added Gray point. Some kind of gray point but between two colors. It works with channel mixer (linear transformation) or curves.

* Added Add border. Simple border and title script.

* Added Make wallpaper. To create one or many wallpapers for different standard screen resolutions.

* Added Patchwork. Make a patchwork of 3 or 4 photos.

* Added Effect mirror. Simple mirror effect of a photo. Generate one or the four possibilities of mirror effects.

* Exif tools does not work under Windows. I found time to test it but not to make it work yet. Next release probably.

Problem may be jpegtran !!

i also can't figure out how to install in both Linux (ubuntu) and Windows (xp)

For me the problem is not Python, i had several py plugin working well in WIN and obviously in linux is not a issue

For other windows user a problem may be figure out that they have also to get this
http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/jhead.exe and, i suppose, place in a new folder with your plugins, and then add the link to that new folder using Gimp File/Preferences/folder/plugin

But, if i understand well that is not sufficient:
i can't figure out how to solve the OTHER dependency, that for jpegtran and not only for win but also for linux

That page you quoted in your side (i refer to :
http://sylvana.net/jpegcrop/jpegtran/ ) is really confusing ,full of links for slightly different flavor of the same apps and more or less related SW... i really can't figure out which is the right one!

More exactly:
1 which is the right one to install on Ubuntu
2 which the right one to install on Windows

could you point me to the correct links , please ?

The name of the Ubuntu

The name of the Ubuntu Package seems to be libjpeg-progs (content found here http://ns2.canonical.com/fr/karmic/libjpeg-progs)

The name of the Suse Package (my linux) is jpeg

Under Windows it should be this one : http://sylvana.net/jpegcrop/jpegtran.exe but I am also a bit confusing because there is a second one : http://sylvana.net/jpegcrop/jpegtran/jpegtran.exe

Maybe both could work because only the lossless autorotate function of jpegtran is used by jhead. I did'nt test yet.

thank i will install in

thank i will install in ubuntu now

At soon i am back from holidays i will try again to install on my dual boot desktop now that the search for the right win binary is narrowed to only 2 alternatives should be much easier.

PS at soon i install on win i may send you a copy of the folder (Py scripts+ the win binary to solve the dependencies ...it may easier the install on Win OS

At least that kind of packaging solve on Win for C plugin that have dependencies, so i imagine should be the same for py scripts )

Installing

Ok, I'd really like to try this out but I'm having issues getting it installed. I'm running vista with gimp 2.6. I know it says tested with 2.4 but in the installation help on the website it mentions 2.6 so i assume it can work.

In regards to the installation help, its says to put the .py files into the users file at gimp2.6/plugins. I'm not seeing anything like that so i have put it into gimp2.0/lib/gimp/plugins with no luck. i've also tried putting the whole files there.

Thanks for your time.

Do you have a valid support

Do you have a valid support of Python-fu for Gimp under Windows ?

If not, read http://registry.gimp.org/node/3916. Download and install a Python windows binary (example link given in the thread) and then follow the download link to install Gimp-Python. AFAIK under Windows you need to reinstall GIMP after that in order to valid your support of Gimp-Python.

Thanks for the quick

Thanks for the quick response! I've this a try.

I don't think that

I don't think that http://gimp-fr.org is valid anymore. Please upload the scripts here.
